Last one, use trigonometry to help you solve for y given that one side is 4 and there is an angle of 50 degrees.

Answer:

y = 6.22

You can solve this in two ways.

1.) Use SOH CAH TOA:

I typically start off by labeling the sides of the triangle with H (hypotenuse), O (opposite), and A (adjacent). Because I need to figure out what y is when given an angle and 4, I will use CAH, or cosine.

\cos(angle)  =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\cos(50)  =  \frac{4}{y}

\cos(50)  \times y = 4

y =  \frac{4}{ \cos(50) }

y = 6.22

2.) Use Law of Sines:

Solve for the last angle inside the triangle first.

180 - (50 + 90) = 40

Then use the angle you found (40°) in the equation.

\frac{4}{ \sin(40) }  =  \frac{y}{ \sin(90) }

\frac{4}{ \sin(40) }  \times  \sin(90)  = y

y = 6.22

The base of a triangle is 7 cm greater than the height. the area is 60 cm squared. find the height and base of the triangle.
tino4ka555 [31]
Base=x+7 Height=x Area=60. 60=((x+7)(x))/2----->60=(x^2+7x)/2

120=x^2+7x X^2+7X-120=0. QUDRATIC FORMULA: -7+/- SQRT(49+480)/2

(-7+/-23)/2... 8 and -15. -15 ISNT the answer because you cant have a negative length. X=8 Base=8+7---->15 Height=8

Dr. Nefario put $5000 in the bank and left it there for 6 months. What simple interest rate would he need to have in order to ha
Sonja [21]

Answer: The interest rate is .166%

Step-by-step explanation:

So what I did was divide $50(Amount at the end) by 6 (the number of months). Which would give me the amount of money he made per month ($8.333...). So then $8.333.../$5000(Total $) is .166...% (Interest rate)

Snowcat [4.5K]

1. Slope 3/4, through (4,-1)

y = 3/4 x + b

-1 = 3/4(4) + b

-1 = 3 + b

-1 - 3 = b

-4 = b

y = 3/4 x - 4

2. Slope = - 1/2, through (3,0)

y = -1/2 x + b

0 = -1/2(3) + b

0 = -1.5 + b

0 + 1.5 = b

1.5 = b

y = -1/2 x + 1.5

A and b are odd numbers.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

2(3+7)=20 and 20 is a multiple of 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 times 5 equals 20, which makes it a multiple of 4

3 and 7 are both odd, and added together get 10. Times that by 2 and you get 20
